Starkiller personally led the attack to Leah and passed through Wilderun with his troops taking the allies by surprise. They didn't expect to see Starkiller with additional troops by his side or him leading the attack personally instead of Commanders Anubites. This caused the wipeout of most of the troops and barely survival of a few people alongside the leaders of the camp who were Cogline, Cara, Leo, Dennee, Rahl, Denna, Percival, Arthur, Gwen, Eredin, and Imlerith. They succeed to escape Wilderun and headed to Leah to warn the rest about their failure and the coming of Starkiller with his army with his new toys.

"I can't believe we almost eat the dust because of that nerd and his tactics," murmured Cara and remarked, "the idiot comes to Leah and from what we know, he shouldn't come from our region to Leah; he must go straight to Leah,"

"Change or plan or somebody betrays us," said Rahl and asked, "what do you think it happens? Is a little of both because his powers become far greater since the Son empowered that rabid; being empowered by the Keeper I can recognize something similar,"

"Starkiller might profit from the memories of Warlock Lord as well; when he gets Lyria, he attacks Wilderun just by himself using as baits some Mord'Wraiths and Kilgharrah," guessed Arthur and looked at his armor, "how do they get this type of weapon of massive destruction?

"Who knows, has the power," realized Dennee and said, "more important is to survive and reach Leah before him and warn the others about the imminent attack,"

"I say we need just to survive and reach Leah," said Eredin and informed, "I send a meteorite to Leah with a message and I say we can handle on our own; besides, some informational note about the new toy,"

"How do they do? Ask our allies for building this type of weapon to turn in dust everyone who has a type of armor," confessed Imlerith and explained, "I don't blame Sabine for building this type of weapon during her school years, at the academy, but is too much,"

"The duchess is a prototype and the last one build," informed Gwen and resumed, "the Mandalorians accompanied by the Ghost Crew destroy the weapon too without letting any traces of the plans or the prototypes,"

"Nothing disappears from something connected to the internet; the Red Girls might find the prototype schematics and build a new weapon," informed Cogline and shared, "we know the weapon can target a type of armor and turn the owner into dust,"

"At least we know how to use the weapon against Starkiller; is more important to survive than turn the weapon against them," said Denna and looked at Percival, "we will find a way and beat them; we mustn't give up,"

"I don't give up, but we lose so many people; good people," confessed Percival and explained, "I know we must fight to the end for their sacrifice not be in vain,"

"What are you waiting for?" asked Leo and said, "I find a shortcut to Leah and I think we must use it; I forget mentioning we can use it to turn the way to Leah of Starkiller into a nightmare,"

Leo took the map and explained to them where they must go to use the terrain to their advantage. Eredin looked closely at the map and realized the plan was risky, but they had immense chances to get rid of most of Starkiller's army. They climbed on the mountain, walked on the trail and observed how Starkiller and his army passed under, on the road between mountains. The group spit up and waited for the perfect moment to trigger the obstacles to deal as much as possible damage to Starkiller and his army.

"They are close from our position," informed Eredin and said, "be ready; in some seconds we will start our plan and they will regret from taking us by surprise in the first place,"

"Now, throw the boulders at the vale," yelled Imlerith and looked at them, rolling, "let's throw the bombs to interrupt the connection to the force while Eredin will use the meteorites against them,"

"Rabid dogs are coming and are climbing on the walls as spiders," observed Cara and shot some arrows, "if you want the hard way, I will show you what means the hard way; taste my powers,"

"Taste my power too; I hope you like for more the Blood Rage," said Dennee and corrupted the troops from down and threw her daggers, "thanks, Denna; we need protecting our back because the idiots are attacking from different sides,"

"No problem and the guy with that huge machine tries desperately to target us and will eventually hit us," confessed Denna and asked, "do you have any idea to make the tank to target the armor of the Anubites?"

"Is possible to target their armor, but with the troops they have down, is impossible," remarked Cogline and smiled, "I know we are not in the mood to smile, but we catch them off guard from attacking them from multiple sides,"

"Instead to go back to avoid the trap, they go straight into them," completed Leo and observed, "I think is the time to retreat; ahead are more ways to get at us and they will not waste the opportunity to do it,"

"We don't retreat until we don't destroy the tank," said Percival and desired, "give me a second and I come with you; they are for our friends who die in that surprise attack and their sacrifice will not be in vain,"

"I hope you will not do anything stupid, Percival," said Arthur and saw how he took his armor to break it into pieces, "what are you doing?"

"Split up," advised Rahl and ordered, "took as many emails you can and throw them down; Gwen makes an illusion with Eredin or Imlerith falling: to do that, make the mail from my hand one of them, and the rest of them everybody throws and you transform them when the cannon shots,"

"I don't want to imagine how big boom will sound," said Gwen and took a deep breath, "now or never; for our friends and allies who are fighting in this war,"

Starkiller knew something was wrong and realized what was going to happen exactly when he saw Eredin falling. He found a place where to hide and when hit the mail which looked like Eredin, Gwen turned all the mails into Wild Hunt armor. The discharge caused by the sea of Wild Hunt armors caused the falling of electrocuted armors on the Anubites killing them. Many armors fell on the tank and energized it until exploded of the many energies stored there over the limit. After the disaster, the heroes ran in the caverns without to wait for the result of their marvelous trap.

"Do you wait long?" asked Starkiller and showed up laughing, "I sent the army away, giving the command to my subaltern to go on the long way to Leah, while I toy with you on the short way,"

What are you waiting for?" asked Cara and said, "kill us now and finish the circus once for all; I think you have other plans for us,"

"You guess well," said Starkiller and explained, "it is after me, you die by now, but Dark Ahsoka and the Son has other plans for you and this is the reason why I spare you; in case you fail, you will become our servants,"

"The Wild Hunt bows to no one, not even in the face of death," shared Eredin and confessed, "you might be stronger than us and most of our allies, but the power comes from the friendship and the fighting for a common cause,"

"I know is something you don't expect to hear, especially from us, but we are no more the one they met years ago," assured Imlerith looking at everybody, "together, we survive many fights and we will survive more from now on,"

"In case you spy us, you know that," said Denna and asked, "knowing this, what are you planning now to do?"

"Letting you to rotten as the rats in the desert," answered Starkiller and confessed, "Dark Ahsoka and Starkiller give concrete orders to don't harm you at all, but they don't say anything about the Red Girls and their crusade,"

"From the reaction, you don't care about them, but you are missing an important thing; the machines are connected to the network," shared Leo and explained, "in next second, the Red Girls can turn the fleet you bring against everybody,"

"I don't care; if you are so good at stopping Zerstorer, you can handle with pretty much things, including the Red Girls," said Starkiller and attempted to leave, "by the way, in case you meet Galen Mark, tell him I want to have a private discussion with him,"

"We will send your message; still, I can't believe we fight with illusions made by you," murmured Dennee and saw Starkiller how disappeared, "I can't believe he has a code of morals,"

"He just respects orders," said Rahl and explained, "the main reason, why he let us alive, is the possible knowledge of the future or consider us weaklings unworthy to die by his blade,"

"Do you know from where we must go?" asked Arthur and looked around, "here must be a door, but somebody covers it with a thin wall; the damn resistant is too strong and I barely make a scratch while you are laughing at me,"

"Arthur, that is a portal and has a crystal or something to activate it," confessed Gwen and said, "do you see the crystal or something close to it, to open the portal?"

"I think I find something, but I am not sure," shared Percival and handled the object, "why it doesn't glow? Is it activated?"

"Hold six while I set the coordinates to Leah; Starkiller might try catching up with some of his tricks," advised Cogline and set the date, "everything seems to work fine; let's go and remember, there is no going back,"

Cogline set the bomb and detonated the crystal. Before to close the portal, they heard a weird noise which sounded as exploding flesh and realized some Anubites indeed followed them and died during the explosion. The portal teleported the squad in the ruins of Old fortress of Leah, but nobody knew where they were. Cogline was the oldest one from the group and the most acknowledged in the Old World, looked amazed and tried to understand where he was.

"Where are we? What is this place?" asked Imlerith curious admiring the place, observing, "my eyes are well-formed and my instinct tells me this is not the first time when I am seeing this,"

"I don't know if your instinct is good or bad, but let's ask an expert about this," advised Eredin and looked at Cogline and asked, "what your guts are telling you, Cogline? Do you know where we are?"

"Possibly, but I am not sure 100% where we are, but my guts tell me we are in the Central Kingdom" answered Cogline and shared, "looking at this place, seems to be untouched for more than I can count; yes, the legend is true, but must be impossible"

"How far is from Leah?" asked Cara looking on the map, "I don't find anywhere on the map this place; is forgotten and erased from the history, Cogline?"

"What else do you want to say if is that?" asked Leo seeing on the walls multiple flags and kissed Cara, "anyway, this is not the first time we are witnessing a place like this and Arthur can confirm it too if remembers where he takes us to show,"

"I remember as is it today," confirmed Arthur and shared, "who say the saying that doesn't know the past, is doomed to repeat it, must be a very wise man; still, I wonder what happens with this place,"

"The place is abandoned," said Gwen and resumed, "I believe this place is where the kings reunited to decide the fate of the land and the people who live inside it; this place is built on tradition, a thing many kings forget when coming to power,"

"This place might fall during a war, but I wonder if anybody is home and give us additional help," said Rahl and touched the wall of the room, "my eyes are quite formed and I don't see anything which might trigger a secret door or something,"

"Super, Cogline looks at the map and doesn't know where we are; I know we use a portal and this place isn't marked on the map," said Denna and asked, "do you hear some noises around? I think I hear something,"

"You don't think, you hear," corrected Percival and showed some creatures, "I think they make their nest in the castle and are mad about it; let's take them out before this gets messy,"

"Rahl what are you doing?" asked Dennee and looked at Rahl curios, "I guess is something wrong with the place in case you just are admiring; is more to it than this at these noises?"

Rahl approached slowly to the creature who made noise and kept the sword back in the case of everything. He didn't understand the creature what was saying but understood it wanted to follow him. The rest decided to follow Rahl, but was with the eyes in four in case the creature led them to a trap. Cogline heard stories about the place as a child and remembered at a point in time, during the First War of the Racers a group of kings from different kingdoms tried to keep the world in peace, but their subalterns didn't agree with the idea and stabbed them in the back, proclaiming war. The traitors didn't agree with the idea of equity between species, considering some species were better than others. Once the central kingdom fell, their predecessors claimed the territories to build their kingdom for their respective kind. They assured nobody knew what happened with the central kingdom remaining a legend, being forgotten about most of the people and the place never to be discovered. The creature heard what Cogline said, stopped for a second, and looked at him straight in his eyes trying to say the legend is true. After this, it led them to the grave of the kings and the creature transformed into the king of the Silver River.

"Starkiller intends capturing you and uses as baits to win the war; he feels a presence and abandons the plan sending the scouts after you," informed the King and resumed, "in case you don't destroy the portal, I can send the Anubites elsewhere,"

"I guess you have the purpose of sending us here," said Denna and asked, "what is the purpose?"

"To remember you about the past and not many agree with the idea of the species living together," answered the King and shared, "the way of survival is together and not on his own,"

"I think this lesson can apply on a global scale considering how big is the world we are living in," said Percival sharing, "we know many people don't agree with this, but we will do everything we can to maintain the peace,"

"Why you don't help in the fight?" asked Rahl and said, "your power is immense and can stop this madness once for all end,"

"Immense, but the King of Silver River is remembered as an advisor, not a warrior, Rahl," said Cogline and asked, "do you know how to stop this madness?"

"I want to intervene, but this is your test and the survival of humans depends on it," said the King and shared, "you already have what do you need to beat this trial and what will come,"

"I guess you will continue with believing in ourselves," guessed Cara and promised, "we will do everything we can to honor the memory of the kings and bring this place to his former glory,"

"This is possible now because the kingdoms are in peace," said Leo and resumed, "by the way, in another side from the Old World, live in peace the machines with the androids,"

"Burry the past and live the present; I can't believe where the alliance has started and where is today," said Imlerith and asked, "do you know how far will go?"

"I know, but doesn't matter how far will go if the structure is fragile," answered the King and completed, "I don't speak about now, I speak about the future; you must know how to balance the things,"

"You warn us about the future fight with the gods and the demons or vice versa," realized Eredin and confessed, "we know about them and we will not let them win by destroying Earth,"

"is a method we can lift the curse from this place?" asked Gwen and looked at Arthur smiling, "oh, I must miss something or I don't understand why you look at me,"

"The curse can come in many forms and one of them is to be forgotten," explained Arthur and resumed, "Damnatio Memoriae and to lift it, you must remember to the people about tradition,"

"Yes and this is your job," confirmed the King and opened a portal, "your friends are waiting for you, and remember, you have everything you need to win,"

"Thanks for the help," said Dennee and observed the king disappeared, "we might lose an army by surprise, but we learn a valuable thing for the future; is a fair trade, considering we have the power to bring them back,"

The portal teleported the squad to Leah and they said about their meeting with the King of the Silver River and his advice of keeping the unity for survival. The kings who were there present swore to return to the tradition by reviving the place and be an example for the future by making all decisions regarding kingdoms' fate there.
